I wanna know how to work with fixed voltages and just have to deal with vcore and multi. None of this turbo boost, turbo offset, vcore offset an ****

Fixed voltage is mostly for people who run constant speeds and don't want a power saving feature when the computer is idle (most likely used for people who's computers aren't idle even when they aren't there)

It's actually similar, I wouldn't say simpler.

Find stable vcore for desired multiplier
Find proper LLC setting to try to elminate vcore spikes completely and try to elminate most droop.
(example, you don't want a vcore that droops from 1.320 all the way to 1.240, 1.320 to 1.296 would be acceptable but the purpose is to find a LLC level that keeps the cpu voltage under load closest to what its set at)

i would if i could mate, i run programs that are at cpu and ram usage 24/7 more than 50% each and I cant afford the hiccups in boost

how would using offset change the vcore of what its stable at 4.5ghz? wouldn't the offset still put me at 1.38 that i need to get stable at 4.5?

I'm thinking about just dropping to 4.4ghz and running under 1.3, not sure if this 100mhz is worth such a higher vcore

i appreciate you trying to help

If you switch to offset( w/ C1e & Speedstep enabled) you cpu will most likely still be at the same full load vcore. The advantage is having it downclock to a 16 multi and idle at .96-1.000v roughly. If your CPU is constantly at high usage then its not going to help.

I know theres really no reason to, I just cant wrap my head around the offset thing. I follow this guide and cant get **** to post at 4.6. I figure dealing with 1 set voltage and vdroop is easier than dealing with 2 offsets and a but load of other variables. After i find what i can do max i can always back down and change it to offset and try to hit that same vcore for 24/7... right?

I know i could be WAY off with that statement... but it sounded good

edit2: whats more important? Core temps or Package temp? package seems high but cores are all way within range... its a 15c difference -.-

Its better to start w/ offset otherwise you will just have to end up completely redoing your overclock. Try and post at 4.5ghz w/ a +0.005 offset and a +0.004 turbo. Then run P95 for a few minutes and post up your CPU-z idle and full load vcore. I will be able to help you from there.

About your bios for offset voltage:

Set Spread spectrum to Disabled.
Change Fixed to Offset
Set Dram Voltage at 1.5v instead of auto
Change C1e to enabled
C3 & C6 to Disabled

I would start w/ a 45 multi +0.005 offset and +0.004 turboEdited by Lucky 23 - 3/28/13 at 4:30pm
